Marcelo becomes most decorated Real Madrid star of all time as top five most successful players are revealed

REAL MADRID won a record 35th LaLiga title on Saturday.

The Brazilian left-back, 33, is set to leave the Bernabeu this summer after 16 incredible years.

And Marcelo etched his name in the history books as Real’s 4-0 win against Espanyol saw him become the outright leader for most trophies won.

Six of those are LaLiga titles, including the record one won today under Carlo Ancelotti – who has become the first manager to win titles in Europe’s top five leagues.

Marcelo also scooped four Champions Leagues – and he could yet make that FIVE with Real still in the semis against Manchester City.

Marcelo is now one trophy above club legend Paco Gento, widely regarded as one of Spain’s greatest players.

The left-winger is the only player to ever win six European Cups, having played for Real between 1953 and 1971.

In third place is none other than Sergio Ramos, who left Real for Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

Widely tipped to win the next Ballon d’Or, he has scored 42 goals in as many games this season. securing Real’s latest title and keeping their European hopes alive.

Benzema has also enjoyed great success elsewhere, winning four titles at Lyon as well as the 2021 Nations League with France.
